2-What would happen if we asked God to enable us to speak about him to others with boldness?

3-Do most of us Christians keep the "good news" to ourselves?

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY

³⁰ Two blind men sitting by the road heard that Jesus was going by, so they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

³¹ The people warned the blind men to be quiet, but they shouted even more, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
³² Jesus stopped and said to the blind men, “What do you want me to do for you?”
³³ They answered, “Lord, we want to see.”
³⁴ Jesus felt sorry for the blind men and touched their eyes, and at once they could see. Then they followed Jesus.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

  Father in heaven, we ask You to help us apply Your teachings to our lives so that our foundation will be unshakable and storm-proof when the howling winds and surging rains beat against us. The foundation of this world is temporal and growing more and more decadent, so we choose instead to build our lives on the eternal foundation of Your everlasting Holy Word, as You teach us all throughout Scripture. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

 

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy-
